New Fraction Ideas, Freebies, and Videos!

Our 2nd graders have been focusing on fractions for the past couple of weeks. Next week we are finishing up our unit, so I wanted to come up with a few new activities for our kiddos to do.

One of the concepts we are going to work on is understanding that the fewer the parts, the larger the size of the parts/the more the parts, the smaller the size of the parts. Goodness... there's got to be a better way to say all of that, ha! I made this poster to display throughout the week. You can grab that HERE :)

We are also going to work on going beyond the whole. I didn't have anything for that, so I made some word problems that we will complete in our math spirals. These have been added to my Fraction Unit, so if you already own it make sure you redownload for the update!

We are also going to sort fractions based on if they are labeled correctly :)

Anytime I can find songs or videos to accompany my math theme, I make sure to save those links! My kids love a catchy tune :)

They will also continue naming fractions and sorting them based on their parts. For this sort we are also going to order the fractions in each category based on the amount that is shaded :)

We will finish the week with this simple craftivity (also added to my Fraction Unit) where we will make a snowman that shows fractions shaded beyond the whole.

Thank you, Amy! I really appreciate the creative gifts. I can't wait to use these ideas with students, and I'll definitely be checking out your fractions product. Have a wonderful week. JanLaughter and Consistency

Your site is amazing! I love the design, and it is so resourceful. I see that this site is technically a blog. How do you have a URL like a normal website but still use blogger? Is there a big difference between having a blog and a website?
